As we remain focused on keeping our customers and their families connected, we continue to prioritize the critical communications needs of the public safety community.
This includes working closely with agencies like CalFire, who recently deployed its agency-owned mobile FirstNet® cell sites in the Los Angeles area to provide added, reliable coverage on-the-go. Ideal for areas where communications may be temporarily unavailable, Compact Rapid Deployables (CRDs) can be set up in minutes by just one person, providing first responders with immediate FirstNet connectivity. FirstNet is the only network that enables agencies to own these devices, giving first responders greater command and control of their own network.
“No connection is more important than one that can help save a life, and the FirstNet team at AT&T is honored to deliver reliable, critical connectivity to California first responders and other agencies providing mutual aid as they battle the devastating Los Angeles wildfires,” said Scott Agnew, president, FirstNet, AT&T.”We’re working around the clock with government and public safety officials to help those on the frontlines. Our thoughts are with the entire L.A. community, and we will continue to be there in the weeks and months ahead throughout the recovery efforts.”
As of today, the FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) has responded to nine FirstNet emergency support requests from public safety.
